Exhaust tip sticks out on the G series just like XR series on the current model...

[usernametaken]

for a turbo, that tip looks pox.

Granted it's the velvet sledgehammer of the model, but seriously, a couple of twin tips would make it look so much smarter.

hopefully not the production model.

Not on the new model, however...

When shopping for payments you need to compare the monthly payment, nothing else (providing the term etc are all the same).

Yes? Lol My bank interest rate was 8.9% (secured car loan) and dealership did 6.5%...exact same term, etc. Lower monthly maintenance fee as well

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Also not sure if new vehicle rates are different. ..I bought the car second hand last year

[Falcojimmy]

I believe the actual car is right rather than the computer render....

Well I hope so at least!

[Nikked]

Hidden tip for the G6, G6E...exposed tip for the G6E-T?

Makes sense.

It's not just the render, the actual G6Es running around do not have exposed tips either. As Nikked said, it seems like only the G6E Turbo will have an exposed tip which makes perfect sense.

[Silver Ghia]

I would think the G6ET exhaust would be the same as the XR6T exhaust.

[Bobman]

Nice to finally see a G6E Turbo.

Disappointed with the 2008 era wheels though! Hope this is changed on production. Great looking wheels, but not suited for the last model IMHO.

[Road_Warrior]

No bootlip spoiler either for the G6ET?

[NitroFG]

See the roof antenna or is it just missing the tail?

I remember one time in Kings Cross, they lined 4 F6s up at an RMS inspection station, then when they left each of them got sideways pulling out and belted up the road. Pretty ironic.

Tax dollars hard at work. This was that night Adrenaline.

Actually don't mind the no-lip on the g6et. The visible exhaust already shows it's not an XT, which is basically all it does now.

It appears maybe the New G6E Turbo won't get the 'Turbo' badge, the 8 on the XR is red, as well as now the 6 on the XR6 Turbo is red. And on that G6E Turbo the E was red. So maybe the G6E won't have the Turbo badge, just a red E?

You can tell they don't own the cars.

I'd never sit on my bonnet, ever!!!

[Hawkeye84]

That G6E T photo is the best rear shot to this date.
lookin the goods

[Polyal]

Is that a new colour?

I must say Holden have two very nice colours at the moment....a dark green/ black and a dark purple/maroon/black something or rather that suit the VF.

Unfortunately, like the FG, I don't think bright colours are going to suit the FGX. Hence that metallic gold being the hero colour thus far.

Personally I would delete exhaust tips on all models for a little cost save....they never line up correctly and the square design leaves no room for error.

Bugger, bought a Terry last month...and that shot of the G6ET sets off another "Urge to Splurge"...so how much does it cost to buy one of those car elevator parking systems, lol?

Highly unlikely the XR8 (in Police guise anyway) will trigger the LCT threshold. Current threshold is $61K.

I thought LCT came in at 57k...or have they changed it recently, but honestly i don't think that should be classed as luxury these days...i'd say something closer to 100k would be considered luxury, just look at a landcrusier ute (basically farm ute) they're over 60k new and nothing special.

Don't think u pay LCT on landcruiser ute cause they commercial vehicle.. Totally agree BMW n mercs n **** maybe LCT.. Another bright idea of labors last government.

[chopstar87]

you do pay LCT on Land cruiser...

you will find that Toyota has more buyers that are affected by the LCT then anyone.. which Toyota has been talking about a while and want changed.. as there SUV and 4WDs get hit with the LCT and most are not "luxury cars" they just cost $$$.

these days I reckon 100k is a luxury car...

[LoudPipes]

You also pay LCT on higher priced Ford and Holden Utes.

[FGX-302]

Being someone that bought a VDJ79R brand new in 2012 I can say NO u don't pay LCT on landcruiser utes nor do u pay LCT on LC70 wagons.. 200 series yes but not 70series.

[GasoLane]

From the ATO website.........

https://www.ato.gov.au/rates/luxury-...nd-thresholds/

LCT thresholds

2014–15 $61,884

2013–14 $60,316

2012–13 $59,133

2011–12 $57,466

2010–11 $57,466

2009–10 $57,180

[Bonn]

Didn't the Labor government give Ford some extra funding for the FG X?

[XR Martin]

If they dont get the money from LCT the Gov will just find some other way to tax you, so dont think for a minute if it goes everyone will suddenly have more money in their pocket...
